GRE Subject Tests Registration Process

The GRE Subject Tests are achievement tests that measure undergraduate students knowledge in a particular field of study. GRE subject tests are intended for students who have majored in a specific subject and want to highlight their knowledge of that subject when applying to graduate schools in USA.

Unlike the GRE General Test, the GRE subject tests are given under a limited schedule and format. GRE subject test dates are offered 3 times a year, worldwide, in October, November, and April. Currently, the GRE subject tests are paper-based and are not available for computerized testing.

For testing in Nigeria, only VISA is accepted; American Express, Discover, JCB, and MasterCard are NOT accepted.

GRE Subject Test Fees

The basic registration fee for GRE Subject Test is USD $130.

Fee Reduction Program

Under the Fee Reduction Program, the testing fee reduces to USD $65. This program is available on first-come, first-served basis for college seniors and un-enrolled college graduates who demonstrate need for fee reduction.

Repeating a Subject Test

It may be to your advantage to take a GRE Subject Test more than once if you think that the scores you obtained do not reflect your true abilities. If your scores seem unusually low in comparison with other indicators of your preparedness for graduate studies, you may want to consider taking the test again. Those considering repeating a test should be aware that large score increases are unusual, and for some test takers scores will go down. Keep in mind that score reports will include test results obtained within the past five-year period.You may take GRE subject tests as often as they are offered.
